    Always reliable when it comes to genre-bending and incredible worldwide collaborations, Yellow Claw once again fail to disappoint with their awesome trap infused with hip-hop collaboration with Japanese rapper SHACHI and $u$hiGirl for the new single “Hey Sensei”. This is the follow-up to Yellow Claw’s single “Did You Really?” featuring Freja, SHACHI’s collaboration with Lost Outrider and RhymeTube on the single “It’s Going Down”, and marks $u$hiGirl’s debut single release.

    Yellow Claw are a well-known Dutch DJ duo consisting of Jim Aasgier (Jim Taihuttu) and Nils Rondhuis. They have accumulated over a billion streams across platforms and performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals. They have released four studio albums to date, the first three of which charted in their home country of the Netherlands as well as Belgium, and their first two albums also hit the US Billboard 200. They’ve had various hit singles in the Netherlands and Belgium, namely “Shotgun” featuring Rochelle – which also charted in Russia, and “Till It Hurts” featuring Ayden. They’ve worked with some of the most renowned and upcoming DJs, producers, and artists including Steve Aoki, DJ Snake, Diplo, Becky G, Ty Dolla $ign, Galantis, INNA, Saweetie, and many more. We even managed to interview them about their track “Bittersweet”. They continue to impress in the EDM world, not afraid to mix genres and collaborate with top stars from countries all over the world.

    As for SHACHI, real name Suzukawa Mashilo, she is a Japanese female rapper who has hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams to her name, with over 11k monthly listeners on the platform. Over the years, she’s been a part of various groups including CY8ER, DEEP GIRL and Iketeru Hearts. She dropped her debut solo single in 2017, titled “Beautiful Day”, and a year later she dropped her hit single “Turn Up The Music” which quickly became her most-streamed single with over 1.5 million streams across platforms. Her music has not just touched fans in Japan but has also made waves around the world and her determination to become a worldwide artist alongside her incredible work ethic are exactly what will push her out onto a global stage.

    Stream “Hey Sensei” by Yellow Claw featuring SHACHI & $u$hiGirl on Spotify here:

    Talking about the track, Yellow Claw said: “We met up with Shachi when we did a show in Tokyo. Airdropped her the beat, and she sent us the vocals a couple of days later. All the Japanese lyrics are really like a painting with words to us. We don’t know what they mean, but they sound so good.”

    Written by Fumi Mogi, Jim Taihuttu, Nils Rondhuis, Putri Estiani, Uladzislau Kouchuk, and Uladzislau Kulbitski, whilst it has been produced by Yellow Claw themselves, “Hey Sensei” is a progressive trap house track with addicting rap lyrics by SHACHI in Japanese that adds flavour and an over lining groove. As we lead into the drop, Yellow Claw builds anticipation before surprising us with xylophone beats and mechanical synths which gives a dreamy flare that matches the Japanese flow from SHACHI. It’s an unexpected, genre-bending fusion that really shows that Yellow Claw really is on top form. As the second verse kicks in, SHACHI impresses with her English rap that leads into Japanese with her sweet vocals and hard-hitting lyrics that really show she’s ready for worldwide success.

    The single release also comes with five variety versions such as the slowed down and sped up versions, the instrumental, and the incredible acapella version.

    “Hey Sensei”, by Yellow Claw featuring SHACHI & $u$hiGirl, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via Barong Family.
